CARE AND CLEANING

The 6100 Series Portable Patient Scale contains no user-serviceable parts and maintenance should be limited to occasional cleaning and battery replacement as required.

• Do not submerge the scale or weight indicator in water, pour, or spray water directly on them to clean. The scale and weight indicator are not waterproof and covering them with water will damage it and void the warranty.
• Always remove power before cleaning. i.e., Remove the AC power adapter cord from the weight indicator or remove the batteries.
• Do not use wire brushes, abrasives, or cleaning tools such as steel pads and scrapers, which will scratch the painted surface. Instead, use soft cloths or plastic scouring pads for cleaning.
• When possible, use treated water. Hard water can leave behind deposits. Soft water is much gentler on the painted steel’s surface.
• Avoid the use of acetone, thinner or other volatile solvents, and abrasive-type cleaners for cleaning. If required, a mild solvent such as mineral spirits can be used to remove oil, grease, tars, wax, and similar substances. Use a cloth dampened with mineral spirits and apply only to areas that are contaminated. Follow up the use of this mild solvent with detergent cleaning and rinsing.
